Whether you are a farmer, retailer, artisan, or entrepreneur, you may have been considering installing automated lockers for selling your products via self-service and short supply chains. This is a great idea, as this system aligns with current consumer preferences. However, one question may be on your mind : is the internal temperature of the automated lockers suitable for my products ? As a designer of automated locker distribution systems, MonCasierFrais is here to shed light on this essential topic.
What are the automated lockers offered by MonCasierFrais.fr ?
A connected self-service sales system
Our automated lockers are named as such because they require no direct human intervention to sell the products they contain. The purchase process is automated, as customers select the items they wish to buy via the ordering kiosk. The smart locker then opens automatically once the customer has paid. These automated lockers are housed in units containing 24 compartments, which is why they are often referred to as automated locker dispensers .
What can be sold in an automated locker dispenser ?
The benefit for any operator of automated lockers lies in their versatility. They allow you to sell all types of products ; the only limit is the size of the products you wish to sell ! Starting in the 2010s, automated fruit and vegetable lockers gained popularity. Then, automated farm produce lockers experienced exponential growth during the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently, manufactured goods, such as sporting goods or luxury products, are also starting to be sold through smart lockers.
Are automated lockers always refrigerated ?
Adapting the internal temperature of your automated lockers to the needs of the product being sold are their main benefit.
Automated refrigerated lockers for fresh produce
Fruit, vegetables, deli meats, meat, and even ready-made meals are fresh products that have a use-by date. They cannot be stored indefinitely and must even be kept at cool temperatures until they are sold. A break in the cold chain can compromise the integrity of these products. That is why MonCasierFrais.fr has designed automated lockers equipped with an efficient refrigeration system. A double bottom promotes cool air circulation to ensure it is evenly distributed throughout the refrigerated locker. Double-glazed glass also helps to reduce heat loss, limiting energy waste and additional costs.

Smart ambient lockers for other products
Our automated lockers for self-service and Click & Collect are available in an ambient version. While MonCasierFrais specializes in deploying smart refrigerated locker systems, as the name suggests, we realized that many operators also sell products that do not require cool temperatures. That is why you can also order ambient temperature automated locker units or temperature-controlled ones!
